Jon Mitchell <address@hidden> described the package as follows:

Other License:
Package: Readies Personal Finance Manager
System name: readies
Type: non-GNU
Description:
A Gnome Desktop Application providing Personal Finance functionality.
This project (Readies) aims to provide simple to use functions to monitor
day-to-day financial transactions, and hopefully over time will build up to
provide comprehensive reporting and alerting functionality.
The project is written in Perl, with Glade providing the user interface, and
the Perl SQLite DB module providing the underlying data store. The choice of
SQLite give myself access to a full-featured and fast storage layer, whilst
removing any configuration issues that a \'real\' RDBMS would need - the target
user of this project is very much a desktop user, not a system admin.
Future developments will probably include XML for configuration management. A
graphing system has yet to be designed.
This project should run on any system that has Perl and Gnome 1.4 - at the
moment it has been tested on Mandrake Linux 9.0. GCC 2.9.5 or better is
required to install the SQLite Perl module, which is accessible from the CPAN
archive.
This project is not in competition with gnucash - gnucash offers a huge amount
of functionality suitable for Home and Small Business use. Readies aims to be
offer a much smaller range of functions tailored specifically for casual home
use.
Currently, very early code, can be downloaded from
http://www.jonm.co.uk/Readies.tar.bz2
It is not ready for release. Once unpacked, run main3.pl.
Other Software Required:
Gnome 1.4
Glade
Perl module DBD::SQLite, available from www.cpan.org
